Ask him why the 'world series' has only 5% any of the world in it.
Or ask him, do American Nascar drivers only go round in circles so they don't get lost?
And yet, why can't american road cars that go round corners?
America says everything is bigger over there, does that include their heads?
If US is the land of the Free, why does everybody have a cabinet full of guns at home?
Why does America have more incest per capita than any other country in the world?
Did you know that every single day in the US, 12 newborn babies are given to the WRONG PARENTS!
Why did the Yanks make a Hollywood film about the Americans saving the day with the Enigma machine from WW2 when everyone knows it was the British?
I could stay here all day on this one, class question.

I grew up in the States so probably shouldn't be telling you this ;-)
Ask them where they're from then pretend like you never heard of it before. Pronounce it back to them wrong ("Laws Angeleez Cala-forna?" "Atlantus Georgiana?" ) and then dismissively ask them if it's anywhere near Ottawa, Toronto, or Montreal. Then bang on about how great Ottawa, Toronto, or Montreal are. Well why not, they do it to Europeans all the time.

Some really good suggestions here. I spent a lot of time all over Europe, and I gave as good as I got. Seems like this type of stuff is a favorite (sorry, favourite) pasttime for you guys. Just remember to buy us a pint while you do it.
Just make sure its cold, weak and light.
Cheers!

It's hard to wind up a Yank...we aren't that sensitive since everyone pretty much slams us all the time, but Poms are easy. :)
You were talking about language, and the Brits did invent English, but we Yanks perfected it!
Ta!

I wind up my American friends by telling them how I would never go to America as people keep getting shot there. Just talk about how many people own guns and shoot people. Because it is stereotypical it annoys most.
